The final song from Los Angeles band Lord Huron's second album was released in 2015, almost unnoticed by the mainstream public. A decade later, it has become one of music's most unexpected success stories, BBC reported.

Beyoncé and Dua Lipa are among the biggest pop stars in the world and both released new albums in the past year, but their most successful songs of 2024, the BBC reported. did not reach the popularity of Lord Huron's 10-year-old The Night We Met, according to Billboard's official year-end global singles chart.

Even Charli XCX, who dominated the summer with her Brat, failed to surpass The Night We Met in UK success last year.

(The Night We Met is ranked 35th on Billboard’s global chart for 2024, ahead of Dua Lipa’s Houdini at 37th and Beyoncé’s Texas Hold ‘Em at 41st; and on the final UK Official Chart Company chart it is ranked 60th, while Charli XCX’s Guess is her highest-charting single at 73rd.)

Meanwhile, Lord Huron’s song has joined the exclusive club of tracks with three billion streams on Spotify — a club that even Taylor Swift has yet to join.

Videos of The Night We Met have racked up another three billion views on TikTok, according to music platform Chartmetric. | BGNES
